Raspberry Bulbs – “Lusty Climbing”

With a select breed of lo-fi black metal straddled atop a foundation of knuckle-dragging hardcore, Raspberry Bulbs puts forth evil, distorted catharsis. Even in a New York scene already oozing with punk oddities, the five piece band can hardly find their place. “We don’t really fit in,” Marco del Rio– who initially started the group as a one-man project– said in an interview. “That’s the world we come from. If we’re gonna fit in anywhere, it’s going to be underground.” It’s an appropriate sentiment, because Raspberry Bulbs just might raise the dead.
